The Deep Freeze
We have had an unusually long streak of cold in our area. It has been below zero, about 14 below one morning, and we also have a good amount of snow on the ground. Even the high temperatures in the middle of the days are only in single digits.
Fortunately, it is supposed to warm up a little by the end of this week for about two days and then go back to the really frigid temperatures again (by warm up I mean into the 20s).
You people who live in the south don't know how it feels to walk outside in 14 below zero and take a deep breath! It hurts your lungs. You also get frost on your nose and mouth If you are out more than a few minutes. I don't go outside in this kind of weather unless I absolutely have to.
I sometimes wonder why I am living here--then I remember--I have a daughter and grand kids that live here and my home is here. So that is why I live here.
I sit on my couch by the window and just look out. I am waiting for spring. It will come one day, it always does! Then when it is in the 100 degree range this summer I will think of this cold and wish I had some of it.
Why is it that we are never satisfied with what we have?
